Here is a welcome new ‘a la carte’ initiative will help travelers tame the hostile airport.
United’s new Premier Line service provides priority access to three types of specially reserved lines that offer travelers priority at check-in, security and boarding, including boarding for connecting flights. Prices start at $25.
‘When we asked people what travel services are most important to them, they told us that access to airport priority lines was something they value highly,’ says Dennis Cary, senior vice president and chief marketing and customer officer. ‘Premier Lione provides convenient access to fast-track lanes and is another choice for our customers to customize their travel experience.’
Premier Line is available in the U.S. at United’s five hub airports – Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington Dulles – and at 9 other airports, including Boston, New York LaGuardia, and Seattle. You can purchase the service at www.united.com when booking a ticket, while checking in online, or anytime through the ‘My Itineraries’ page at united.com. The option is also coming available at United’s airport kiosks.
United’s Premier Line service is offered to a limited number of passengers each hour based on time of departure. Elite Mileage Plus members continue to enjoy complimentary access to priority lines as they have in the past.
